my response will always be the same: there are people who still believe
that the Earth is flat and there are deluded and delusional people who
still keep voting Republican or Tory and there is very little that can be
done to help them - and same goes for RPM-haters.

FWIW I was playing around with a Debian based distro the other day, and
could get no sound out via USB, alas just wouldn't see it, after much
googling, the prevailing opinion given in forums was to remove pulse, I
decided to swim against the tide and install pulse audio and then it just
worked (tm)!

Not sure if it will work for the op but must be worth a try!

Note: this experience was not on ubuntu, but crunchbang and it fixed it for
me!

>> Still waiting for the OP to relate what he is finding. I WOULD say that
since he broke it, he gets to keep both pieces, but I am curious about a
resolution to the problem as well. He says the pulse server isn't running,
while he has all the packages installed. We shall see. At least he has his
problem bumped. :) Ric
